THE WAR OF 1870.

Charge that Count Won Beust Encouraged
France to Expect Austrian Support
Henry Labouchere.
The English translation of Count Beusts
memoirs. which has just appeared. is mainly
noteworthy from the lengthy introduction to it
by Baron de Worms. which conveys better no.
ton of the Count than his own memoirs. Beust
was. in truth, neither so great man as he mag
ined himself. nor as Baron de Worms believes
him to have been. He was a clever political ad-
venturer. as fussy-as once heard Prince Bis
marck say of him-as the devil in holy water,
and anxious to play a prominent part in Ger
many without much caring what that part was
or in the service of which German country he
placed it. He was amiable, witty and possessed
a large fund OF minor talents. Again and again
he put himself into rivalry with Bismarck, but
he was invariably worsted by him. 1t may be
true, as both he and Baron de Worms aver,
that he did not encourage Napoleon III to
rush into war with Germany. But had he
been more explicit before war was declared as to
the attitude of Austria. it is very probable that
there would have been He was infiu-
enced by his habitual antagonism to Prince Bis
marck, and he led the French Emperor to i'm

A GREAT LANDSLIP.

Railways and Highways Near Monte Carlo
Buried Under Earth and Rocks.
MONTE CARLO, April IA heavy landslide
occurred here to-day. Immense masses of rock
and earth slid down. and now entirely block the
railway and carriage road. Trains from Cannes
and Mentone. well laden with tourists, had mar
velous escapes from destruction, getting over
the tracks just in time to avoid humiliation.
The andfall is great that it will stop all rail-
way communication with Monte Carlo for at least
twenty -four hours. The landslide was undoubt-
eddy the result of the shocks which the prom
ontory received during the earthquakes which
began along the whole Riviera on the morning
of Ash Wednesday. The first shock was the
greatest in force. 1t will be remembered that
while all the other towns in the Riviera were bad
~ shattered by the earthquakes, Monte Carlo
was pronounced entirely unaffected. Scientists
ascribed this to the solid, rocky character of
Monaco's formation. Refugees from all the
other resorts flocked here. To-day the vast land

thought, the complete removal of all unstable
projections and overhangings, and where for
years the railway and highway travel has been
very great. shows how violent the earthquakes
were, and that Monte Carlo contrary to general
opinion. was, in reality, badly shaken, although
the population did not notice it.

GENERAL LABOR NEWS.

The Striking Chicago Carpenters Reject the
Proposition of the Employers.
CHICAGO, April The striking carpenters
met at Greenebaum's Hall. at noon, and by a
unanimous vote rejected the proposition made
by the bosses. and reaffirmed the demand for 50
cents an hour and full recognition of the Car
penters' Council as body Of organized labor.
The proposition of the employers was to concede
eight hours and make 80 cents an hour the mini
mum pay, with grades above, bat not to recog-
nize anything but The individual rights of the
men. The real fight now is over the recognition
of the organizations of the men by the employ
ers. The latter pledged, as members
of the national association formed here
a few days before the strike COM
menced, to recognize only individuals.
The carpenters have assurances of support
from the other building trades, they claim, and
in the event of long struggle one trade after
another will join them till the building business
is stopped. No such emergency is thought prob
able, however. 1t is said that all but 500 of the
carpenters in the city belong to the union, which
numbers about eight thousand. pretty equally
divided between the Knights of Labor, the Anal
Ramated Carpenters and the Brotherhood of
Carpenters. OF the 5000 not more than one
fourth belong to English speaking nationalities.

Corrupt Officials at Odessa.

chief tribunal in which the late city governor
of Odessa and number of officials were impli-
Gated. The indictments occupied eight hours in
reading The charges Of wholesale bribery and
peculatiop which it contained were almost in
credible. This trial had been pending about two
years. One hundred and twenty witnesses
were subpenaed. The trial. after lasting more
than eight days, terminated with the acquittal
of all the accused. The public prosecutor will
appeal to the Senate. The evidence given by
$50 witnesses for the crown went to show the
prevalence of a system of corruption, peculation
and organized black mailing on the part of re-
sponsible officials. 1t seems to be proved, in
deed. by recent series of abortive prosecutions
that the curse of official corruption in almost
every department of the Russian civil admins
